Lesson #2: Functions: Rules, Tables, Graphs, & Mapping

Vocabulary Warm-up: define the following.

Function: _____________________________________________________________________

Linear: _______________________________________________________________________

Non-linear: ___________________________________________________________________

Domain: ______________________________________________________________________

Range: _______________________________________________________________________

Vertical-line test: if a vertical line on a graph passes through more than 1 point, it is not a
function.

Example 1: Using the Vertical-Line Test: Determine whether the relation

{(0,-2), (1,-2), (-3, 1), (-2, 0), (-1,-1), (3, 2), (2,-3)} is a function.

Example 2: Using a Mapping Diagram:

Determine whether each relation is a function. {(4, 3), (2,-1), (-3,-3), (2, 4)}

Use a mapping diagram to determine whether each relation is a function.

a. {(3, -2), (8, 1), (9, 2), (3, 3), (-4, 0)} b. {(6.5, 0), (7, -1), (6, 2), (2, 6), (5, -1)}

Example 3: Making a Table from a Function Rule

Make a table for 5x 25 y and evaluate the function to find the range for the domain values
of {-2, 0, 2, 4}.
